Director of National Cybersecurity Center Resigns

WSJ: “The government’s coordinator for cybersecurity programs has quit, criticizing what he described as the National Security Agency’s grip on cybersecurity. Rod Beckstrom, a former Silicon Valley entrepreneur, said in his resignation letter that the NSA’s central role in cybersecurity is “a bad strategy” because it is important to have a civilian agency taking a key role in the issue. The NSA is part of the Department of Defense.”

  • Mr. Beckstrom’s resignation letter: “…the NCSC [National Cybersecurity Center] did not receive appropriate support inside DHS during the last administration to fully realize its vital role.”
